Question
I am currently suffering from hepatitis B , in early 2018 I was examined and tested for no hepatitis B virus , in early 2019 I was tested for hepatitis B virus infection and I also tested for viral quantification . Result: Virus detection concentration in the patient (iu/ml serum): 16,110,000 iu/ml, Threshold virus detection concentration (iu/mml serum) 50 iu/ml on 11/3/2019. Due to the nature of my work, I have to work far away without timely and focused treatment. Now, I would like to ask my doctor which medicine should I buy to completely treat hepatitis B like concentrated treatment to get medication every month at the hospital. Ask your doctor for a prescription that can be purchased from a pharmacy and how much to use for best results (do not use supplements). Thank you!

Hello! You have had a quantitative hepatitis B virus test: 16.110,000 IU/ml. Due to the nature of work, you have not received treatment. Therefore, before deciding on treatment, you must visit a hepatobiliary specialist to check the necessary tests to choose a treatment drug for you!
The goal of hepatitis B treatment is to prevent the virus from growing and causing liver damage, avoiding progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Treatment time depends on each person, can last for a lifetime, because current hepatitis B treatment only heals, the chance of a definitive cure is very low.
You can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to get more advice from doctors.
Thank you for trusting and sending the question "Which drug specifically treats hepatitis B?" to Vinmec. Best regards!
